The Visitation of Oxfordshire (Harleian Society), p. 143, describes Sir John's wife as a daughter ol the Lord Lisle; but this pedigree is very untrustworthy, and there seems to be a confusion with the wife of Edmund de Stonor.

page xxii note 5 The keeper of the Accounts in No. 96 seems also to be a son or son-in-law of Alice Drayton ; he refers to “my brother Mull”. The reference in the Account to the “dethe of my modyr” may be a note by Thomas Stonor.

page xxii note 6 See No. 54. The Devonshire Inquisition at Alice Drayton's death (Ch. Inq. p.m., Edward IV, File 29) recites that her first husband being sused of the manor of Ermington and hundred of Ermington, forty acres in Bukford Walles, the water of Erme and its fishery, the “hundredespeny,” view of frank pledge of Great Modbury, “et de tremura de Kilbury,” with the advowson of Ermington and of the free chapel in the cemetery, enfeoffed Thomas Chaucer and others, who on 2nd May, 1432 demised all except the fishery to Alice for life.

page xxiii note 1 See vol. ii, p. 181. Dogett appears frequently in the Letters. He died in 1491, and by his will directed that he should be buried in the church of Pusey in the chapel of St. Nicholas. P.C.C., 1 Dogett. Cf. No. 256.

page xxiii note 2 Visitation of Oxfordshire, p. 143, Harleian Society. In the pedigree ap. Nash, Worcestershire, i, 2, Thomas Stonor's wife is called a daughter of John de la Pole; this is of course absurd, as John de la Pole was not born till 1445. William de la Pole was serving in France from 1417 to 1430, and may well have had a daughter of suitable age “born in Normandy”.
